Hungarian embroidery
It was in the beginning of the eighteenth century that the present style of
Hungarian folk art took shape, incorporating both Renaissance and Baroque
elements, depending on the area, as well as Persian Sassanide influences.
Flowers and leaves, sometimes a bird or a spiral ornament, are the principal
decorative themes. The most frequent ornament is a flower with a centerpiece
resembling the eye of a peacock's feather.
Nearly all the manifestations of folk art practiced elsewhere in Europe also
flourished among the Magyar peasantry at one time or another, their ceramics and
textile being the most highly developed of all.
The finest achievements in their textile arts are the embroideries which vary
from region to region. Those of Kalotaszeg in Transylvania are charming products
of Oriental design, sewn chiefly in a single color - red, blue, or black. Soft
in line, the embroideries are applied on altar cloths, pillow cases and sheets.
 In Hungary proper Sárköz in Transdanubia and the Matyóföld in the Great Plain
produce the finest embroideries. In the Sárköz region the women's caps show
black and white designs as delicate as lace and give evidence of the people's
wonderfully subtle artistic feeling. The embroidery motifs applied to women's
wear have also been transposed to tablecloths and runners suitable for modern
use as wall decorations.
Mezökövesd - The land of Matyo art crafts
 Matyó folk embroidery, originating in Mezökövesd, is popular both within Hungary
and abroad. Shawls, tablecloths and aprons of black material are thickly
embroidered with a dense accumulation of multicolored flowers in rich Oriental
colors which harmonize despite their gaudiness. According to legend, there is a
symbolism in the colors used in Matyo decorative work: black represents the soil
from which life springs, red is the color of summer - representing light and joy
- and blue stands for grief and death.
Matyó embroidery decorates men's wear, too, providing men with coats, vests and
shirts more ornate than anywhere else in the country.
Kalocsa needlework
also ranks high in popularity. "Writing women" in this town
on the Danube in Southern Hungary draw their designs on white or pastel colored
fabrics. Daisies, marigolds, cornflowers, poppies, lilies, tulips and roses
furnish the colorful motifs. Kalocsa designs are also applied to wall
decorations.
 The reason embroidery has become so widespread in folk art lies in the ancient
custom of dowry. It was expected that a well-to-do peasant family provide their
marriageable daughter with a dozen ornate pillows and embroidered sheets, two to
four decorated featherbeds and six to eight
embroidered tablecloths. It was not
uncommon for a girl or young woman coming from a prosperous family to possess up
to twenty dresses, for the most part richly embroidered.
The peasant costumes of the Székelys in Transylvania are especially distinctive,
preserving more ancestral motifs than those in other parts of the country,
probably because of their ethnographic isolation. In Transylvania, the
easternmost part of the Carpathian Basin, the greater part of the territory is
hilly and, as a result, most of the people breed cattle instead of working in
the field. Accordingly, the Székelys have been using hides to make clothes for
many centuries. Both men and women wear leather jackets of various lengths and
shapes (as the conquering Magyars must have done ages ago) richly embroidered
with traditional patterns. Another ancestral material long used by the Magyars
is broadcloth made of sheep's wool. The Székelys still make this special cloth
and color it with vegetable dyes. The tight, close-fitting men's trousers are
made of this thick, stiff cloth, as are other garments.
The women's skirts are always striped. Black and red and green and blue, are the
usual colors, especially for the younger women. On Sundays after church the
streets of a Székely village are most picturesque as the many-colored striped
skirts present a different picture at every step.
Kalotaszeg
One of the favorite destinations for lovers of ethnographic art in
Transylvania
is Kalotaszeg. A famous painter, referring to the beauty of the women's costumes
in Kalotaszeg, once asserted that even the ancient Greeks would not have found
them barbaric. Their lines and cut conform to the structure of the human body,
so that besides being picturesque they are architectonic too. Women's aprons,
worn both front and back, are especially interesting parts of their apparel.
Both aprons are gathered into small folds. The back apron is hemmed with broad,
colored cloth - generally bright red - and is fastened in such a way that the
colored hem shows curious shapes and, especially when walking, the movements of
its wearer are accentuated. The pearly headbands worn by the girls in Kalotaszeg
are modeled after those worn by the noble ladies of earlier times, while their
soft red leather boots with turned-up toes are Turkish derivatives. The
Rumanians living in the Kalotaszeg area have borrowed much from the Magyars in
clothing and footwear styles.
Another locality in Transylvania known for its unique folk wear is Torocko, whose
people use an unlikely, but pleasing, blend of materials in fashioning their
wardrobe. Silk, lace and other expensive materials juxtaposed with primitive
ancient robes made of leather and linen are blended into a harmonious ensemble.
Form, color and ornament produce a uniform effect and show an extraordinarily
developed taste.
